“Oh, yes,” Karilaya quickly smiled at the man and just continued her stepping inside.
The captain remained by the door of the carriage, taking a good look at the lady who seemed a bit no herself, as she would turn silent every now and then.
“I heard you collapsed yesterday, are you perchance not feeling well or maybe you are lacking sleep, my lady, you know you can take a rest any time you want,” the man reminds her, worry etched onto his face as he examined her further.

There was also only one book that had mentioned it, but the hard part was finding something that had a similar book that actually explained what was happening and was able to tell more about the said quote, something that was clearer and more reliable than the riddle.The words themselves would not leave Karilaya, keeping her awake every night, knowing that it was something of grave importance to stop the nearing doom of their kingdom.The princess rubbed her forehead from the ache in her head from all that thinking.

The prince was only wearing a black tunic, embellished with gold and silver, and a red shoulder cape.

From his well-defined chest to his bulging arms that were both being hidden before by his plated armor.His full face was uncovered, showing his dragon form which was the only thing that fascinated Karilaya at that moment, since she could not help but worry, even more, knowing that a man such as the prince having such physical and magical superiority would easily be taken down.“Do you not like the food, my lady?” The prince t

The man was also helping along some of the laborers to hasten things, even going so far as having some of his knights help out. Karilaya watched and observed from far away, admiring the captain in her safe space. The man did not hesitate to get his hands dirty. Digging, carrying, and even helping the workers push several of the heavy stones that were scattered within the place.
